About this listen

A wryly funny and moving account of an extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public eye.

Teen idol at 15, international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at 20, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-1970s Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood.

The Outsiders placed Lowe at the birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment industry. During his time on The West Wing, he witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics, both on the set and in the actual White House. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the 80s, leading to his quest for family and sobriety.

Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last 25 years. These stories are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.

I like how Rob told his life story how it happened, the good, the bad and the ugly. Beautifully written and narrated beautifully. Great read.

Honesty

I grew up in the UK, "with Rob" as we are the same age (4 weeks between our birthdays) and I had to suffer the indignity of my now wife (then my girlfriend) having posters of Rob all over her bedroom. Sickeningly good looking and in truth still is. I have been a West Wing fan since Ep 1, watched all 7 seasons numerous times and was saddened when he left after S4. Listening to his book I related, to his struggles and even not knowing these people he described/met/commented on personally, he made me feel connected and his ability to create the voices is a talent. Well done Rob, the book told us where you went in our lives when not on TV or films, stay grounded and thank you.

What a fantastic book to listen too. Every actor should do their own book in order
for us, the general public to understand and appreciate what & who they are.

An excellent audio book
